BREAKING: State(Michigan) officially shut down

LANSING -- State government was officially shut down after midnight, as state lawmakers failed to agree on either a full or temporary budget for the new fiscal year.

The Republican-controlled Senate held final action on an interim budget until after the midnight deadline, over objections from Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who accused them of shirking their responsibility to keep state government from shutting down.

The Senate adjourned until 12:15 a.m., when it was presumed negotiations would continue between the House, Senate and Granholm.

Less than an hour earlier, Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop, R-Rochester, accused Granholm and Senate Democrats of sabotaging progress on a final budget agreement, although key budget bills remained stalled in the Democratic controlled House.

Wednesday afternoon, Granholm notified some 51,000 state employees that they would be laid off at 12:01 a.m. if no budget was in place

Liberal cesspool Detroit: Not even the dead can escape the effects of 50 years of Democrat control

Detroit’s heartbreaking condition now means frozen slowly rotting corpses.

After fifty unbroken years of liberal Democrat rule Detroit has sunken so low it has no money to bury its poor who die without other means to be interned.

As the raging flames of Obama’s recession consume one city after another across the country without a doubt the worse off cities are those most controlled by Democrats and their masters in Big Labor.

Liberal controlled cities like Detroit Chicago New York Los Angeles and Atlanta all average higher unemployment then the rest of America.

The Labor Department says ALL 372 cities it surveys experienced notable increases in unemployment since last August. L.A. Chicago and Detroit lost the most jobs.

Detroit’s unemployment rose a stunning 7.8% to 17% meaning the present effective rate is probably close to 28%!

Redline clear: More liberalism equals worse financial condition.

Let’s be honest, when Black liberals run things and their town collapses White liberals run away from them. They always have and always will. Detroit East St. Louis, Oakland and Patterson New Jersey come to mind. White liberals cover themselves but not Black liberals.

At last report more than five dozen unclaimed slowly rotting bodies are stacked up in Detroit’s Warren Street morgue. The people are broke and the city is broke and there is no end in sight. The Bing administration acknowledges there is NO chance these bodies will be buried before January.

These are the facts of today’s Detroit. You haven’t heard much about either of these stories because the media manages the news for Democrats instead of reporting the news for us.

Is there any doubt we would see both of these stories leading off every network news show if we had a Republican president and a Republican governor in Michigan?
